Matika's Family and Friends
Matika came to us from the North Country Animal League in Morrisville, VT. (www.ncal.com)
When Aunt Gina was there visiting she saw her and started to cry. She knew that this dog was meant for us.
After she emailed us some digital photos we decided to go see her for ourselves. On Monday, December 4, 2007 we went to meet her.
We immediately liked her and she seemed to like us. However, Walt needed to "sleep on it " before he could make a decision.
The next day he picked her up and she officially became part of our family!

A special thanks to our friends Kent, Annie, Emily and Holly for opening their house for Matika
while we went to Virginia for a week. We could not have gotten Matika without their support.
Thanks to everyone who helped make Matika a part of our life especially Fairy Dogmother Gina. You knew.
